or commiting suicide?

Would you shut up?

No, Vincent, I mean really...

You should take the meeting.

Really? Why is that?

What's this Reggio need from you?

They need me to keep quiet.

After they killed Manny,

they thought the transition

would go smooth, but

they didn't bank on us.

They didn't bank on me.

This ain't Palermo, this is my city.

They can't afford a war,

but this is what they'll get, Tommy.

It's stupid.

Stupid.

You know what they need.

That's a good piece of intelligence.

But it's only worth

what you make of it.

You let them think they're using you,

you get next to Reggio,

you be a good soldier,

when the time is right you

cut the head off. No war.

Nobody dies for Reggio.

That's what I've been

trying to tell him the whole time.

Yeah, but you couldn't because you

didn't graduate from 5th grade.

Shut up.

I was busting your balls.

You know, I know you love

him more than me.

What is that? Don't say that.

No, I know that.

If you were in a dark alley,

you'd rather have him there, not me.

It's alright.

There's nothing I can do about it.

I just want you all to know

that the world could crumble

and I would die

trying to be in that alley with you all.

You're drunk, Vincent.

Maybe I'm a little drunk.

I'm still here

waiting to be in that alley.

I'm sorry.

God, you're beautiful.

I'm sorry, you've got to excuse me,

I've got to take a piss.

I'm sorry - a leak.

Tell him I said

thanks for everything.

You're welcome.

Could you get me another drink?

She's off duty.

Drink mine.

I'll see you tomorrow.

She's a good looking girl.

Yeah, she's a good looking girl.

I'm Junior, who are you?

I'm Brandy, I started tonight.

Dancing?

Bartending.

It's a nice car. Is this yours?

Yeah.

It's in my spot.

Sorry.

You're parking in the back

with the rest of the girls.

- Got me?

- Yeah.

You're a real f***ing

looker, you know that?

What brought you here, Brandy?

I'm a friend of Joey's.

I'm gonna try parking in the back next time.

Brandy, could you do me a favor?

Tommy doesn't have a car. I was wondering

if you can give him a ride down to the diner?

- Yeah, sure. Yeah.

- Thanks.

- See you down there.

- Are you coming?

Yeah, I'll meet you there.

- She's okay.

- Yeah, that's what you said about Willy.

Willy's okay.

Turns out Willy was a rat.

Forgive me if I question your judgement.

Yeah, but you didn't know he

was a rat until after you killed him.

That somehow makes a difference?

How do you know she's not a rat too

like her scumbag husband?

You go near her, I'll cut off

your other leg, Junior.

How are we doing, Junior?

- We're doing great, Joe.

- Good.

It's bad enough I made

the poor girl a widow,

I don't want to make

the kid an orphan too.

Yeah.

So how long is cousin Tom here for?

Tommy's okay.

Is there anybody

around here not okay?

That's what I'd like to know.

Just stay away from Brandy.

Thanks.

Are you hungry?

No, I gotta get home to my kid.

My neighbor's watching him.

Out to the left, three seats back.

Where you sat in the 8th grade.

Used to piss me off because

you sat by the window, and I didn't.

You should know how cold it was

by the window in the winter.

What did you say to that guy?

The guy in the bar.

I told him the best thing

a marine could hope for

is to die for his buddies.

That's probably what happened to his son.

Is that true?

That's what they told us.

How was it over there in Kuwait?

It was hot and sandy.

It's the desert, right?

Who knew.

I saw the three of you in there

the night Joey's father was killed.

You and Vincent and Joey.

It was a fight.

You looked like the three musketeers.

The only thing missing were

the big swords and the costumes

and stuff.

That was the night I told

Willy I was pregnant.

He's gone, you know?

Yeah.

It's good to see you.

Hallo?

Joey?

Rise and shine, buddy boy,

we're taking the meet.

Start this thing all over again,

me, you and Vincent.

Ten minutes, don't be late.

Back it up. Guys, we're

coming through here.

- Alex, are we good?

- Yeah.

I've got one leg and

I'm here on time.

They take this kind of thing as an insult.

That's what it was meant for.

Nice suit. Italian?

Hey, Smiley, how you're doing?

Buon giorno, Giuseppe.

Joey, my name is Joey.

Scusa.

Capisci Siciliano?

No, I speak English.

I speak American.

Me too. I'm from Carnasi.

I don't give a sh*t where you come from.

No. We're getting off to a bad start here.

Either you tell me what's on your mind

or I'm gonna go buy myself a rack of lamb

and me and my friends are gonna

have ourselves a little barbecue.

Giuseppe, we talk like men, no?

Not like a bulldog in the gutter.

The bulldog - very ugly.

So you shoot me in the head,

than Sipio shoot you in the head.

And what do you get?

We've got a big headache.

That's funny.

- Ain't that funny?

- Yeah, it's funny.

I make you laugh.

Yeah, a laugh.

That's good.

So let's talk business.

Hey, one thing.

This Rocco betrayed his friend.

I don't work with someone like that.

Either he goes or I go.

You have a problem?

We'll fix it.

What the hell is that noise?

It's a meat grinder.

Everything is drowned out. What happened?

Sipio killed Rocco.

Why?

Reggio told him to.

Okay. Why?

I don't know.

He just told him to shoot him?

Yup.

And you have no idea why?

You know, I didn't ask.

That's very helpful.

You've got to get me something I can use.

Come on, do us proud, tough guy.

Thank you, Jimmy.

I've got a winner.

What's wrong?

It stinks. How do you say "stinks" again?

Take a picture.

It's a f***ing clown.

This is my wife.

Isn't she lovely?

She's beautiful.

You wanna know something, Giuseppe?

Angelina met your mother here.

Really?

Once, with Matteo.

When you visit here first?

How long ago?

Ten years ago.

Ten years.

Really? Ten years ago.

Your mother...

She's lovely.

Get me a f***ing

Crown Royal, will you?

How are we doing?

Great, if you want to know anything

about the history of Italian opera,

or the infinite varieties of olive oil.

We keep working.

It's a prescription for Ebuteral.

I called it in earlier, I said

I'd be here when my shift is over.

It's over, I'm here.

I'm the night manager.

My son's athmatic.

I need the medicine.

I'm the night manager,

the pharmacist goes home at midnight.

He didn't tell me that.

My son's asthmatic and I want his medicine.

I'm the night manager.

Jesus Christ!

You say that again, I swear to God

I'm gonna hit you over the head

with this bottle of mouthwash.

I called the prescription in,

it's behind the counter,

you give it to me or I'm taking it myself.

Okay, I'm calling 911.

My advice is to put

the mouthwash down

and step away from the counter.

- Excuse me.

Can I speak to you for just a second?

Excuse me, I'm busy at the moment.

I know.

Just a sec.

Let's take a walk.

We'll be right back.

Listen,

could you use 500 dollars?

Pardon me?

Is that something you could use?

Okay.
